I love that judy garland quote, shes an amazing singer/performer. One of my favs!
Oh yeah...I've been singing this song in my singing classes. It made me smile and in the same time my voice just broke a little when I realised what the lyrics were about....I've been listening to this song lately. Love it! It reminds me of someone
Nature Boy
~Eden Ahbez~
Sung by Nat King Cole
There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return
A lovely quote:
For it was not into my ear you whispered
but into my heart.
It was not my lips you kissed
but my soul.
~Judy Garland~
I bought Orianthi's album today. It's great. I'm wondering whether "God Only Knows" was written with Michael in mind, but in any case, I'm feeling it. To lose someone you love without ever being able to say "goodbye" is a very hard thing to get past...
Someone has uploaded the song to You Tube, so you can listen to it there if you haven't bought the album yet.
God Only Knows
I feel so alone, I can’t seem to find my out of this low?
No, it don’t seem right
I didn’t have a chance to say goodbye.
In this silent space, I close my eyes I can hear you say
That it's alright, but my world's such an empty place tonight.
Cause I know that, it’s all part of life.
[Chorus]
I wish I had the chance to say goodbye, yeah I still miss you.
It's so hard to see through the tears I've cried.
Yeah, I still need you.
Cause I don’t want to, if I don’t have to ever let you go.
How long must I hold on… God only knows.
As the time goes by, it gets a little easier to smile.
No, I'll never forget everything that you said.
You said it’s alright, it's all part of life.
[Chorus]
I wish I had the chance to say goodbye, yeah I still miss you.
It's so hard to see through the tears I've cried.
Yeah, I still need you.
Cause I don't want to, if I don't have to ever let you go.
How long must I hold on… God only knows.
The light’s above, you will never fade if you keep looking up
The world around you’s a better place if you believe enough.
Cause I know that, it’s all part of life.
[Chorus]
I wish I had the chance to say goodbye, yeah I still miss you.
It's so hard to see through the tears I've cried.
Yeah, I still need you.
Cause I don't want to, if I don't have to ever let you go.
How long must I hold on… the longest I'll hold on.
How long must I hold on… God only knows.
God only knows.
Ya, God only knows.
God only knows.
....... actually guys i cant do it .... ever scince michael left god doesnt talk to me or give me ideas .... i just cant write music no more
It will come, eventually...managed to lay down some parts but i dont think it has that sound still
I've heard a few people say the same thing. Michael was the muse who inspired so many others' creative efforts. But you know what... inspiration will come again. Let gratitude heal you. Here's a poem that I wrote a little while ago. I hope that it helps.
Release
Stop resisting the pain
Embrace it
Hold it dear
It is a measure of the joy you once knew
Thank God that life is so piquant
Breathe and release
Let it percolate
this anguish, this loss…
until you know it
and know yourself
Let gratitude fill the space
where longing aches
Open your heart to the Universe
Joy will come again
to kiss you in the night
Dimity
And another, to remind you of all the reasons to be inspired and to have hope...
Defining Hope
Beauty encourages the soul.
Wonder brings joy.
Mystery excites the mind.
The world is full of beauty.
Every person is a deep well of mystery to be gently probed.
The future is a doorway to discovery.
Magic is the explanation.
It's OK to believe,
Arms outstretched to the heavens, “Fill me with joy!”
Happy tears flow from a heart full of wonder and gratitude.
It’s OK to believe.
No walls—only connections joining people,
And people joining the animals and the earth, altogether–
One huge interdependent living organism,
One stage, and we are on it,
One play, and we are in it,
One eternity, and it is happening, now and forever.
Hope is in every breath.
Life reaches out to the wings of hope, and grasping them, begins to rise.
Hope, unrestrained lets the spirit soar.
That is hope!
Dimity
